The spirit within our soldiers comes from our culture, from the inspiration of lord shiva."

While I respect the spiritual sentiment, I feel linking military operations directly to religious figures can be a bit polarizing in a diverse nation. The bravery of our soldiers in Operation Sindoor stands on its own merit.

The part about a "fearless society" building a strong nation really resonated. It's not just about guns, it's about inner strength. Sadguru's foundation does great work. Om Namah Shivaya!
